Job Overview
We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals to join our teams as a Ward Clerk. We have two posts available:
- Melton Community Hospital - 22.5 hours to be worked over three days Monday to Sunday.
- Loughborough Community Hospital - 30 hours to be worked over four days Monday to Sunday, covering two wards.
The rota covers 08.00-16.00 so your shifts would be between these times.
Ward Clerks are a vital part of our very busy inpatient multi-disciplinary teams. You will often be the first point of contact on the telephone or face to face for visitors, relatives, and external clinicians so you will be responsible for providing an excellent first impression. Our wards provide sub-acute care, complex rehabilitation, and palliative care. You will always be visible and a source of knowledge and support for staff to ensure the smooth running of the ward.
If you are highly organised, have excellent communication skills, and enjoy working with people, then this role is for you!
Free parking is available on site.
The local bus transport network has a stop close by.
The Trust encourages a healthy work-life balance and flexible working opportunities are available.
